Isn't KSA also meddling in the affairs of other countries? You funded regime change in Libya and Egypt. You are now bombing a sovereign country, Yemen, in defiance of all international laws, and you sent troops into Bahrain. You can argue that these interventions are important for KSA security and stability, but if that's the case, then the same standards should apply to Iranian intervention in Iraq and Syria. If its good for the goose, it should be good for the gander. In the case of if Iran, they have actually been invited by the legitimate governments of Iraq and Syria just like KSA was in Bahrain. You have supported insurgencies and coups in Libya, Egypt and Syria against the established governments. Is this OK because you are Arabs yourselves?
Those other countries are all fellow Arab countries. We Arabs should not ask for permission to deal with our internal affairs from anybody.
KSA did not take part in the removal of Gaddafi.

Egypt? That was once again Egyptians alone. Nobody outside of Egyptians were involved.
KSA as any other country has the option to support status quo or something else. The previous regime supported al-Sisi. King Abdullah has been dead since January 2015.
No Saudi Arabians took actively part in either Libya or Egypt. Let alone militarily.
Bahrain is not comparable. First of all it's an small island state located less than 25 km from KSA. It should also be a part of KSA as it is an extension of the Eastern Province historically and on all fronts. The people too are from the Eastern Province.

This has been the case since the ancient Dilmun civilization of Eastern Arabia that existed from 2600 BC (!) to 500 BC.

Moreover Bahrain is a fellow GCC state and GCC member states are obligated to help GCC state x or y if the government asks for help. The Bahraini government did so.
The Saudi Arabian soldiers in Bahrain have not killed a single person or arrested anyone. In fact Saudi Arabian presence has calmed things down. Not that Bahrain is chaotic compared to the other ME conflicts. I mean less than 100 people have died in over 4 years of "conflict". I think that more die in Texas alone each week due to gun violence to put that into perspective.
In the case of Yemen the legitimate (internationally recognized) president Hadi asked for KSA and the Arab League to help him and his government after the Houthi terrorists committed a coup in Yemen with the help of the corrupted former long-ruling dictator Saleh.
No, nobody has invited Iranian Mullah sponsored terror groups nor did anyone invite Hezbollah to Lebanon nor did anyone in Yemen outside of the Houthi terrorists invite the Mullah's to send tons of weapons to those terrorists as confirmed by the UN.
UN report: Iran arming Houthis since 2009
Iran is a foreigner in the Arab world. Fellow Arabs in the Arab world are not foreigners at most people of a different nationality. That's it. KSA is not supporting terrorism groups in those 4 countries that you managed. Iran does that in several Arab states or tries to.
Also there would be no war in Yemen had the Houthi's not tried to capture all of Yemen illegally after doing an illegal coup, had they not threatened to attack KSA and had they not accepted becoming Farsi Mullah puppets. We won't allow another Hezbollah to emerge anywhere in the Arab world let alone in our own backyard or on the Arabian Peninsula.
Conclusion = Iranian Mullah's are poison in the Arab world and largely unwanted outside of those small terrorists groups and their limited number of supporters.
